Dating Apps = Circus

I tried it out after getting major FOMO. Went through all men in my area, none piqued my interest and just as equally boring to talk to.

I met my husband at a get-together hosted by mutual friends when I was 31.

There are far too many clowns on OLD, which is why I don’t use it anymore 🤡🤡🤡

I’m a big advocate of meeting new people through fun activities like volunteering and hobby groups. I love trying new things, even if I end up being terrible at it!

If you’re keen to meet a guy, try an activity outside of your comfort zone and outside of traditionally feminine activities. Everyone is different and some women don’t like being approached in this scenario (that’s totally cool!). As long as the guy isn’t just casting his net and actually taking a genuine interest in you, I think it’s a lovely environment to meet someone.

I like the image you shared.

I have several cousins /friends that met their partners through OLD. So I too had the same thoughts. “If they can do it, so can I.” And boy did I try. And try and try and try. But then I remembered what my father used to say. If you try to follow someone else’s path, you trip and fall, and get hurt. Someone else’s path is not your path. I gave it up for good almost 2 years ago and it has been such mental relief. Knowing men are swiping through my picture like a half second piece of garbage, where they decide if I’m worthy enough for them to jerk off to while they’re on the toilet, while at the same time making some CEO rich, is NOT my path.

I used most dating apps out there in 2019. I had over 40 first dates from that. None of which turned into a relationship.

Last year I tried again with the same mentality as you, it works for my best friend so I gave it another go. Met a really good man and it has been almost a year. I don't know what future holds but yes the journey is extremely exhausting and discouraging.

The problem that I returned on the apps was I don't have a good network where I live and almost impossible to meet people irl.

If you feel burnt out, take a break and you have to go in with super low expectation. It is sad but so many NVMs out there. I have built great skills in weeding out bad men early on over time and met some nice people along the way.

It isn't for everyone for that I am sure.
